Hey folks,

Thanks so much for your patience here! If you are up-to-date with The Events Calendar version 4.0.7 on your site, but still have these issues, then can you share your “System information” here? Here’s how → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thank you,
George

Hey Jon,

Unfortunately we do not have any add-ons for this at this time. 🙁 Community Events does not have this feature itself, either.

At this time, the only way to do something like this would be to use a plugin like Restrict Content Pro on your site.

I’m sorry to bear that news! Let me know if there’s anything else I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George

Hey Amber,

Glad to hear it! In regards to your other questions, allowing strong tags and pretty much any other HTML is not possible at this time. 🙁

For moving the tribe-events-event-thumb, using CSS is your best option—whenyou need to write custom CSS on your site, definitely check out a [free!] tool like Firebug if you use FireFox, or the Developer Tools for either Safari or Chrome. They have “Inspector” tools that let you zoom right over the element whose styles you want to change. Super helpful.

As for controlling the image cropping, those is handled in your media browser when you upload the image most of the time, though there could also be some additional cropping to thumbnails being applied from your theme or other plugins. You might be able to help mitigate the output of this by using CSS.

Now, the only question I haven’t addressed is your second one—I am going to write a code snippet for this, but wanted to share the other answers in the meantime. Stay tuned!

Hey Michael,

No, you do not need Events Calendar Pro for any other add-on. All add-ons can be bought on their own.

The only requirement is the core plugin—The Events Calendar. This is free and is required for all calendar add-ons.

I hope this helps!

Sounds good @Michael, thanks for the update here—I will close this thread for now, but feel free to open a new thread any time if there’s anything else we can help with! 🙂

Best of luck with your project,
George

Glad to hear it, @Hans-Gerd! Best of luck with your project. 🙂

Hey Michael!

Thanks for your questions—I’ll address them in order here:

1. Can you add speakers and their schedule (when they are speaking) to an event?

You can manually write out the schedule for speakers and add that to the event content, or write some custom code to achieve a desired result, but there is no specific feature that will automatically do this within our plugins at this time. 🙁

2. We have a yearly summit that we like to theme different each year, is this possible?

You can change your site’s WordPress theme any time you would like. 🙂 (It’s worth noting that this doesn’t have anything to do with our software, though—our software are all just “Plugins”, not themes. So for theme-specific questions, you may have to go elsewhere for detailed theme support. Just mentioning this!)

3. Also do you integrate with EventBrite?

We have a premium add-on that does, indeed, allow for quite a bit of integration with Eventbrite—cehck that out on this page for more information and to see exactly how our plugin “integrates” → https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-eventbrite-tickets/

I hope this information helps!

Hey Chris,

If you add Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus to your website, along with WooCommerce to power the actual checkout process/payment processing, you can sell tickets for events.

This page should have answers to some more specific questions, and includes links for buying and downloading the aforementioned plugins → https://theeventscalendar.com/tickets/

I hope this helps! Explore the information on the above page and let me know what other questions might arise 🙂

Cheers,
George

Hey Michael,

Thanks for reaching out! Our plugins unfortunately do not provide any of this functionality. 🙁

If you enable Facebook login in general on your site through some other means, like with a plugin or some custom development, then one thing that might work is to override the default Community Events login/registration forms by redirecting all login attempts to that Facebook login form on your site that you generate through some other means….

So, for example, if you setup Facebook login in some way on your site so that users can login/register on your site at your-site.com/facebook-login, then you can make sure that users who want to post Community Events have to go through that Facebook login page by adding this code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:


add_action( 'login_form_top', 'redirect_to_better_login_page' );

function redirect_to_better_login_page() {

if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_safe_redirect( 'http://your-site.com/facebook-login/' );
die();
}
}


Sorry to disappoint on some levels here—I hope this information is helpful, though, and helps you move forward with your project.

Let me know!

Sincerely,
George

Hey Hans-Gerd,

If the problem goes away in a different theme, then the original problem is indeed a theme issue. There is almost nothing we can do about theme issues, unfortunately. 🙁 I’m sorry about that!

Your best bet is to use the theme that works well, or some other theme that does not cause the conflict. If you really like the theme that causes the conflicts, then you might be able to get some support from that theme developer as to why their theme breaks the events calendar features. They may be able to help.

Best of luck with your project!
George

Thank you for reaching out! We’re not available for hire for such customizations ourselves, but have maintained a list of excellent developers who are available for such work here → http://m.tri.be/18k1.

(We have no affiliation with any of these folks–they’re simple some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

I hope that list is helpful—best of luck with your project!

Sincerely,
George

Hey Gerald,

Thanks for reaching out—buying the Pro version will NOT enable a simple option for displaying things side-by-side, and in fact you can totally achieve that with just the free version.

The issue is not one of our plugins themselves—it’s one of CSS and floating the elements.

So, the elements are listed by default, but to float them so they are in a horizontal line, you can use custom CSS to float them left (or right). You can learn about this process here → https://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/

Whether you have Events Calendar Pro or not, getting your listed elements to display side-by-side will require writing custom CSS on your site. We cannot help with that (check out the “Product Support” section here for more information on why), but if you share a link to where you have things listed on your site I can try to recommend some custom CSS that would facilitate those changes.

Thank you,
George

Hey @GabyNie,

I’m sorry about this fact, but there unfortunately is no way to get a specific/custom license like you describe. 🙁

Sorry to disappoint! Let me know if there is anything else I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George

I’m sorry to hear this, Henry!

I cannot recreate this behavior, nor find other reports of it, so it seems like there’s a theme or plugin code conflict at the root of these display issues.

I would recommend running through the steps in this article → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

After EACH STEP in that article, check on the display issues with the dropdowns—does anything improve along the way?

If not, then in your reply can you also include your system information with us? Here’s how to do that → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thank you!
George

Hey David,

Thanks for reaching out. I will address each of your questions as follows:

1. Color code events to distinguish between ours and others

This is not something any of our plugins do by default. There are two ways to do this. The first way is to use a well-made third-party plugin called The Events Calendar Category Colors, which provides this functionality based on the categories of the events. It’s available for free here. The only other way to do this would be to write custom CSS on your site that modifies the styles for events as you see fit. We cannot help with writing custom CSS, so you would have to write the CSS on your own or hire a professional to do so for you.

2. Registration page & multiple packages to sell for each event.

Our ticketing plugins do not have a separation “registration page”—they simply add a ticket purchase form to the bottom of events. Now, if you use WooCommerce to power the actual eCommerce and cart aspect of your site, then yes, you can require users to log in to buy tickets, or register for a new user account if they don’t have one already.

When it comes to “multiple packages”, our ticketing plugins allow multiple ticket types. But to be clear, these are rather basic. For example, if you wanted to sell tickets to movies for Adults at $25 per ticket, but then offer a “Senior Discount” ticket type that is only $15, and then a “Student Discount” ticket type for $20 per ticket, then yes our ticketing plugins do allow this. You can create a different ticket type for each type of ticket. However, there is no “packages” feature, bundles, or anything like that.

3. I see there are many different themes shown on your Products page for ECP. Are these done within the Pro version or do I have to install other plugins. If other plugins, where is the best place for those you recommend?

Themes are not provided by Events Calendar Pro—Events Calendar Pro is a plugin, and so on any of the websites you see on the product page, most of the styling is provided by the site’s theme. We do not sell or make themes, so you would indeed have to explore other places to buy a theme that looks good for you.

To find a good theme, stay away from marketplace sites like ThemeForest and such. The code quality is too disparate among the items available and these themes cause many problems.

Also avoid any sort of “Visual Composer” theme, or any sort of “custom options framework” theme that promises hundreds of layouts and thousands of options and all sorts of widgets and bells and whistles.

Go for simple themes with stellar code quality. These are some places where you can find great themes of this variety:
• http://wordpress.org/themes (yes, the free WordPress themes repository!)
• http://arraythemes.com
• http://woothemes.com

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George
